Cathy Reviews Battery Operated Flour Sifter

 

Battery Operated Electric Flour Sifter

I wanted a sifter to make it a little easier when I had to sift a lot of confectioners sugar for cookie making.

I bought this particular sifter from Amazon using an Amazon gift card given by my daughter and thought it would be perfect for my baking adventures.

All you need to start it up is 2 AA batteries. It holds 4 cups of flour and vibrates to sift. The cleanup is super easy, just rinse but don't immerse the whole thing in water.

I made a video so you can see how it works.

July 2022 Taste of Home Bakeable's Challenge - Peach Cobbler



Summer is the time of year to enjoy all those fresh veggies and fruits. So, why not use those fresh fruits in some delicious desserts. As you may well know by now, I’ve taken the Taste of Home Bakeable’s Challenge, and this month it’s a peach cobbler. 

This recipe is fairly simple and only takes 15 minutes to prep. It’s a bit different than other cobblers I’ve made. It has beaten egg whites in the topping which made it super crunchy on the top. I happen to like it but my husband isn’t a fan of egg whites and could tell by the taste and texture. The peaches I bought weren’t large so I would recommend getting a couple of extra if your peaches are not large. 

Check out some of the other Bakeable’s Challenges that I’ve made like the Lemon Meringue Pie & the Vanilla Cream Fruit Tart .

If you want to sign up for the Take Our Monthly Bakeable Challenge | Taste of Home you can join me and a host of others in making delicious desserts.

Substituting Stevia for Sugar in Recipes



As some of you know, I am a Type 2 diabetic.  My real problem is that I have a sweet tooth.  So I have started experimenting with replacing sugar with Stevia in some of my favorite recipes.  

I use Stevia in the Raw for my coffee in the morning.  I have found that it is not as sweet as Splenda, but Stevia doesn’t affect my sugar levels, while Splenda can.                                                                   

                                                         

                                     

I bought Stevia in the Raw to substitute in my baking recipes.  On the back of the package, it advised only substituting half the sugar with Stevia.  I thought that sounded like a good idea so I made some chocolate chip cookies.   My recipe calls for ¾ cup white sugar and ¾ cup brown sugar.  So I used Stevia instead of the white sugar and kept the brown sugar.  The cookies were fine.  They were not as sweet as regular chocolate chip cookies, but they were good.  (Sorry I don’t have pictures of them.)

Next, I decided to make my brownies.  I followed the recipe the same as usual.  I just used ½ of the sugar and used ½ Stevia.   It looked and tasted the same as usual when raw. 


I baked them at the same temp for the same amount of time.   The brownies tasted good but were dry.  They came out more like cake, but dry cake.  So my husband put whipped cream on top and ate them anyway.  


I will keep experimenting and when I finally get them to come out normal I will give you the recipe.

What do you think happened?   Have any of you tried doing this?   Do you have any suggestions as to how to fix this problem with the brownies?

Inquiring minds want to know.  Especially this mind. 

Stay sassy,

Rhonda

Taste of Home Bakeable's June 2022 Challenge: Vanilla Cream Fruit Tart ***UPDATED

***UPDATED 6/25/23***

I've taken on the challenge of the Taste of Home Bakeable's Challenge. For the month of June, it's the Vanilla Cream Fruit Tart.

This recipe calls for a 12” pizza pan but since I had decided to cut the recipe in half, I used a 9” pie pan. 

What’s wonderful about a fruit tart is you can use whatever fruit your heart desires. I used strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, and mandarin oranges. 

If you plan on keeping your fruit tart longer than a day, consider coating the crust with a thin layer of melted chocolate—it can be white, semisweet, milk, or dark chocolate—prior to filling. Not only does it coat the crust and keep it from absorbing moisture, but it also adds an additional "surprise" element of flavor! 

 This fruit & cream tart is easier than making a classic summer pie but fancier than a down-home fruit cobbler. It looks dramatic, elegant, and downright impressive, but it's actually simple to make. Sounds good, right

 

Vanilla Cream Fruit Tart

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 25 min. + chilling  YIELD: 12 servings.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 1.2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 pkg (10-12 oz) white baking chips, melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 T. cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 4 cups fresh fruit
Directions
Preheat the oven to 300°. Cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in flour (mixture will be crumbly).



Pat onto a greased 12-inch. pizza pan. Bake until lightly browned, 25-28 minutes. Cool.

(I used extra chips to melt on top on top of the crust to keep it from getting soggy).




Beat melted chips and cream until smooth. Beat in cream cheese until smooth.



Spread over crust. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.



Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.



Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Cool.


Arrange fruit over the cream cheese layer; brush with pineapple mixture. Refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

Keep it sassy,

10 Things To Do While Being Stuck Inside During a Pandemic


We are all in the same boat during this pandemic of COVID-19. Here are some things that you can do during your time held up in your home.

1. Complete a puzzle. It's always satisfying to finish puzzles.


2. Start a journal. This can be cathartic way of getting through difficult times.


3. Dust off that old instrument and practice.

4. Watch all the really long movies you’ve avoided until now. 


5. Read a classic book.


6. Treat yourself to a skin care routine you don’t have time for during a normal work week.


7. Write an actual letter or note and send by snail mail. Who doesn’t like to get cards and notes in the mail?


8. Learn something new.


9. Try on all your clothes and determine whether they “spark joy” á la Marie Kondo.


10. Bake something.


The next blog we will talk about things NOT to so during a pandemic.


We would love to know what you are doing to keep busy during this time. Share your thoughts!



Take care!!
